r employees. They have too big of a scope as an auditor. The companies they audit are all the top-notch, and Anna-san’s father is the umbrella representative, which is the same position as the president of a normal company That’s Anna-san’s house.
However, Anna-san’s father’s auditing firm is in talks to merge with another auditing firm. There’s no problem in that, but the fact that an employee of the corporation they’re merging is suspected of insider trading is making news
Shou-neechan said.
But, it’s the employees of the merged company’s auditing firm that are at fault, not Anna-san’s father’s corporation, right?
Mariko asks.
Yes, that’s true, but the economic press is on the move and they’re looking into Anna-san’s father as well.and then.
What?
There’s a chance that Anna-san’s family affairs will be written up intriguingly
What do you mean?
I asked.
Anna-san’s grandfather adopted Anna-san as his foster daughter. And then, he died, and his wife also died recently, and so his only child is Anna-san’s father. Thus, the only inheritors are Anna-san and her Father. Also, he left a very detailed bequest to Anna in his will
So that’s why Anna-san inherited all the bank accounts and land deeds.
But, it’s plain weird, isn’t it? Why would he trouble himself adopting the daughter when he can just give the inheritance to his granddaughter and leave his son. Furthermore, the money is still the same
The sum is 300M, was it?
Anna-san says.
When your grandfather passed away 10 years ago, there wasn’t much to be done, but he did specify in his will which stocks to bequeath to Anna-san. And all those stock companies have grown into big, blue-chip corporations in the last ten years
That grandfather of hers is amazing.
To tell the truth, Anna-san now has much more assets than her Father based on stocks, nominally that is
Shou-neechan?
Nominally?
I asked.
That’s because minors don’t have the power to control their assets. Anna-san’s still 14, and so even if she has 300M in inheritance, a legal guardian of a minor will be managing her assets until she reaches 20
Meaning, Anna-san still can’t use any of the inheritance she has?
Normally, when the biological parent is alive, then they will be the guardian. They’re the legal guardians after all. However, in Anna-san’s case, her Grandfather appointed his lawyer to be her guardian
Huh?
No, sure, that’s what Anna-san said earlier.
That her Grandfather’s lawyer is guarding her.
Meaning, Anna-san’s father is losing face to her Grandfather in two meanings. First, is that the grandfather went all the way to make his granddaughter his adopted daughter. Halving the inheritance, no, if it’s the stocks and the land, Anna-san has more value
The father himself is handed stocks that didn’t go well.
If we look at that, we can see that the late Grandfather doesn’t trust Anna-sans’ father at all
Yeah.
Furthermore, Anna-san’s father should have the parental authority, and yet, he’s not entrusted with Anna-san’s assets. Seeing that they purposely gave guardianship to another person is lethal to auditors. The late father of his never trusts him, not one bit
I see.
One can only assume that the Grandfather thought if they let the father manage it, he’d spend Anna-san’s assets without permission.
Until now, this has only been in Anna’s home, and since her assets are effectively frozen until she comes of age, no one else has been exposed to this.
Oh, the media’s checked a lot of things
Mariko mutters.
Yes, if the media publicizes this, then the trust in Anna-san’s father’s auditing will drop. I’m sure that everyone will wonder if it’s safe to trust a person whose father doesn’t even trust him, a corporation headed by such a person with a job like auditing accounts of valuable companies, right?
That’s true.
In addition to that, Anna-san’s grandfather was an extremely superior and fair accountant. The old people remember him, and if that person doesn’t trust his own son.
Oh, I thought he’s just a perverted old man
He’s a lewd books collector, but he’s actually an honest man
Shou-neechan said. Eri and Rie put on their retorts.
So, is Anna-san’s father trying to take away all of the inheritance Anna-san received from her Grandfather?
Momoko-neechan asks.
That’s correct, and so as long as Anna-san’s father is her legal guardian, or in other words, the manager of her assets before the media could investigate the situation, then it would be impossible to admit that there was any conflict between him and the grandfather
Shou-neechan replies.
Oh, so that’s why the father intends to take over all of the inheritance from the grandfather
Mariko said.
But, can he do that? Anna-san’s guardian is the lawyer, isn’t it? I think that the father can’t just arbitrarily become her guardian
Momoko-neechan said, but.
That depends on Anna-san
Shou-neechan looked at Anna-san.
The lawyer of the late grandfather has a good relationship with Anna-san’s father, and so if Anna-san gives her permission, the lawyer can hand over the guardianship to the father. Although, Ann-san’s father was her custodian, and he lives in the same home as her, and so they have the same finances, which means there’s no conflict of interest between Anna-san and her father They live in the same home, and so Anna-san’s father is paying for her living expenses.
Since he’s her parent, there’s no reason why he can’t be managing his daughter’s property.
That’s why Erica escaped from home!
Anna-san shouts.
If I don’t run away and live a separate life than Father, then he will take away Erica’s inheritance!
Oh, I see. It now connects
I said.
While you have that big problem with your father, you want to create an established fact that you can’t live together with him, right?
Yes! I had to do this to keep my inheritance safe! Mumumumumumu!
This girl’s too eccentric that I didn’t understand what she’s doing, but.
The person in question has a clear intent and goal.
But, it’s also true that I’m interested in sex and training more than others!
I get that too, but.
I mean, it’s not just more than others, like, you’re the most interested among anyone.
Momoko-neechan, can I ask something?
I asked.
What do you want to know, Kou?
No, earlier, Momoko-neechan called Anna-san the star of middle school, right?
Yes, I did
In what sense is she a star?
I want to check that out.
AS you can see, this girl’s bright, fun, she has no two-sides, and very cute. All the seniors love her
True. Anna-san’s behavior is very childish and cute.
Arisu, how do you see her as a junior in school?
Arisu’s in her first-year, and so she’s Anna-san’s junior.
They should’ve been in the same school from kindergarten to elementary.
To the juniors like us, she looks bright, cheerful, and she also gets along with her seniors. She does feel like the mature big-sister
Karen?
The girls in elementary also sees her as a cheerful and cool big-sister
Karen, who’s also in the same school, said.
Yes. Anna-san looks mature. Therefore, she also fits in even with the younger girls. It’s not weird.
I see. To the seniors, she’s a cute childish junior. And to the juniors, she’s a mature and cool-looking senior
The problem is.
Some girls present it that way purposefully, but.
This girl isn’t acting.
Hr speech and conduct are incredibly reflexive, and frank.
She doesn’t seem like she has a personality of a liar.
You can’t sense any evil from her expression and words.
In a sense, this girl has the image of pure and innocent.
Onii-sama, Anna-san is also ranked number one in scholarly ability in our school
Ruriko smiled.
And, she also has amazing reflexes
Smart, and sporty.
She’s a superwoman.
But.
I see, I get it. Anna-san’s a girl who’s too good to be true
I concluded.
Too smart, too much reflexes, her thoughts, her actions, they all fly away due to the fast momentum
She makes the analysis inside, comprehends, and then goes to rush to action based on her conclusion.
Childish to the seniors, mature to the juniors. It’s all her reflex.
She’s too smart, that when she’s aware, she’s already done the optimal actions.
And the most optimal action to deal with the recent actions of her father is to run away from home. And, as soon as she realized that, she’s already carrying out that action. It’s not like she doesn’t think, but it’s just that her body is keeping up with her lightning-fast thoughts
This girl’s actions are not random.
Thus, she has no evil, and you can feel that she’s pure.
The simple-mindedness of a child.
And the adult nature of deciding and acting on her own co-exist inside her.
Yes, Erica’s like that, what about it?
Anna-san smiles at me.
Yeah. You see, I’m slower compared to ordinary people so I take my time to understand
I.
I finally see what kind of girl Anna-san is
Erica is Erica! I’m what you see from the beginning! I hate people who keep secrets from others!
Then.
Anna-san.you don’t understand what’s splendid about Onii-sama. You’re still a child
Ruriko said.
Eh? I already know! He’s a man who doesn’t decide from first impressions and he takes time to understand others! But still, now he knows Erica!
Anna-san said, but.
No, you don’t get it, Anna-san. Onii-sama thinks that he only sees only 10 percent of you
Ruriko said. Anna-san’s eyes opened wide.
What does that mean? I’ve got nothing else! It’s just Erica, as you can see!
No, that’s not it.
There are still some of Anna-san that even you are not aware of
That couldn’t be the bottom of that.
Human minds are much deeper, much complex than that.
